Oh my fucking god if I have to hear popcorn girl tell one more person that her "sister's boyfriend's cousin's old roommate dated a girl that's on American Idol" while she giggles and claps her hands like a fucking four year-old I'm going to fly into an uncontrollable rage and explode.

"Bee Tee Dubs...I'll be calling in sick on Superbowl Monday"
I was so excited when he said this.
1.)using internet abbreviations in actual life!2.)telling me that you're going to call out from work the very week that our boss told me to let him know when you were slacking off from work!3.)you reminded me of Matos' mother's incredibly stupid ex-husband!

getting more and more excited as I get closer to 2/1. the more I hear about my new dept, the more I think I won't have to post here as much!
that said, I'll wrap up with leftovers. So stupid girl from the other day, despite 5-7 emails, has not given me the time of the call. emailed her manager with the feedback, asked to escalate the issue so it could be done. no reply. asked the other people who were listed as contacts to look it up for me. no reply. asked one of the people who were responsible for the request for it. no reply.
and I get return receipt on these things so I know they're getting the messages. tempted to just cancel it and go 'ya know apparently you don't need this work done, so hey, submit this again when you're ready to stop being retarded'

If the three of you don't shut the hell up about how "awesome" and "amazing" the Black Eyed Peas were last night I'm going to throw the printer at you. Also, popcorn girl, interjecting with random facts about the band that you just saw on wikipedia is making it approximately fourteen times worse. "Did you guys know one of the guys in the band is legally blind?", "Did you guys know Fergie is married?". Argh argh argh, Monday murderous rage.

so far enjoying my new department a lot, it seems much more organized. complaint today isn't even about a co-worker, it's about a client, and for work I completed months ago.
building training materials for an implementation, and had the client review them for accuracy. this is normal because sometimes we might misinterpet one of their plan provisions or something. it's normal to expect minor corrections to come back.
One of the ladies reviewing is an absolute shithead, and seems angry that there were any issues at all. She corrected a lot of the grammar that wasn't wrong to begin with into clumsy sentences (none of which I will be using), and when there was a provisional mistake, she pointed it out in mocking language. In one place she wrote a sarcastic "Really?" Um, it's in the requirements you signed off on months ago, so if that's wrong, you have problems!
The worst was though there was a minor mistake in a sample calculation for pension payments that is meant only as a guide for customer service reps. It was just a simple numerical typo in a scenario that was an easy two second fix, and she types angrily in all caps her correction to it.
Yea, all of this is really helpful, idiot. Fortunately everybody at my company agrees with my assessment of her and says she's being ridiculous.

There's a guy in the office here that is always extremely nice, I don't harbor any ill will towards him, but he is one of those people that almost constantly offers commentary on mundane things.
"Hey there young lady, I see you've got your boots on. Ready for the snow?""Hello sir, you've got your tea, huh?""Why hello, looks like you've got yourself a box there.""You've got a coat on, don't you?"
I kind of feel like he needs to address everyone and picks out the most obvious thing to comment on.

Perhaps it will help me to spell properly, also.
There is a guy I work with who is a heroin addict. I am an electrician and have worked with him now for about three years. I like the guy but he really annoys me with his self deluded rambling after his 'dinner'.
Every day wherever we happen to be working he has to go off on his own for half an hour or more for his 'dinner'. Sometimes he returns with a flaky manurfactured story about his struggle to find a sandwich shop or just generally some dull blatantly untrue anecdote that is supposed to distract me from his dilated pupils and gouched out demeanour.
I have joked with him before about his addiction and he pleaded with me never to talk about it as he would lose his job if he was exposed. I just hate the way since then he keeps up this charade that I am one of the people who doesn't know his secret.
I just wish he would be honest and say "I am rattling right now and I need to do some gear. I am just nipping down to the Tesco Express toilets with my tinfoil and lighter".

This one girl. This ONE girl. Ugh. First of all, she has this whiny voice that cuts through every single thought in my head. Not a thought in her head goes by without her flapping her gums about first. Every time, every single fucking time they upgrade our computers or she buys a new laptop or she buys a new phone, she is constantly saying "My (blah) is doing this! Why is it doing this! I have tried and tried and I can't get it to work" and calling help desks and asking every single person who walks by, asking the same questions over and over because whenever someone gives her the answer, she does nothing. Fuck, when they upgraded her computer to the latest Office suite she paged our IT guy 5 times a day for a week about shit like how come her email inbox looks different, and where did this email go, and how come there's all these symbols all over my Word document, and where did my formatting bar go... and it honestly takes every ounce of patience I have in me just to sit next to her every day.

To bring it back, go to Outlook.exe in your C: and right-click on it to create a shortcut on the desktop
It's probably at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Outlook.exeor similar

Well um, I know perfectly well how to create a shortcut.
The problem is, with outlook.exe I cannot do this. Wether it is the way the permissions are set on the network here or somehting I dont know, but it doesnt let me make a shortcut to the desktop, OR a quicklaunch icon.
I can do it with other things. Its weird.

So a follow-up on super observational bro from yesterday. A little context first, it has been really cold here in Chicago all week with temperatures hovering just above 0 degrees F most of the week, but dipped down to seven below (before including any windchill this morning). Anyway, after this guy got to work he has spent the last 40 minutes walking up to everyone saying "boy, it's cold out!".

Okay, so this morning is a perfectly great example of why I think popcorn girl and her popcorn thing is really, really weird. A few hours ago a consultant dropped off a huge breakfast spread for us - bagels, donuts, coffee cakes, fresh fruit, muffins, etc. Really great stuff and a nice variety - everything from really healthy options to pretty decadent stuff. Anyway, popcorn girl walks back to the break room, stares at the spread for a few minutes, then pops a bag of her stupid microwave popcorn.
